I am a firm believer in taking Matt Ryan number one. It's time that we stop looking for our franchise QB by trading for either washed up QB's or journey men who have not made it anywhere else. Or even less by using mid round picks on QB's, expecting them to be like Tom Brady, or Marc Bulger. We need to take a QB in the draft, and we need to take him number one.
My scouting report on Matt Ryan:
Arm strength: 96 - Ryan not only has great accuracy, but he also has some zip on his passes, and he can really air it out if necessary.
Leadership: 98 - When I say leadership, I just don't mean on gameday, I mean at practice, off the field, everything. Ryan is the type of guy who says all the right things infront of the camera, is the first one to practice and the last one out, a likeable guy, and yeah, a great leader on gameday.
Intelligence: 99 - Matt Ryan has the NFL IQ of Peyton Manning it seems. He always knows when to pass the ball, who to pass the ball to, whether he should throw it or not. He had several plays this year, that I really loved from Ryan, that even most NFL QB's don't do. Realize that he has a free play after a certain penalty, and try and make the most of it, just air one out, no matter what the play originally was.
Size: 99 - Matt Ryan has the absolute perfect size for a QB. 6'5", 220 pounds, Ryan is an inch taller then Tom Brady, 10 pounds lighter, but as tall as, Peyton Manning, and the exact same size as Carson Palmer.
Experience/NFL "readiness": 97 - Matt Ryan, IMO, might be the most NFL ready QB, along with Quinn last year, to come out of college since Manning. And I don't mean Eli. The numbers may not blow you away, but I think Parcells will realize this too when studying film; the guy is an NFL QB. He's 3-0 in bowl games in his career...pretty impressive.
Overall grade: 98 - Matt Ryan has all the tools necessary to be a great QB in this league. He's got perfect size, great leadership skills, a great football mind, experience, and arm strength. He could come into the league next year, start from day one, and have a good year for a rookie. But the guy has another thing that not many "NFL ready" type QB's have; unlimited potential. Most experts always ponder whether such and such QB will ever be an elite QB, or ever improve that much, because he is already NFL ready, and may have already reached very close to his peak. Not Ryan. Matty Ice has an unbelievable amount of potential. I hate to bring up the comparison, but he has maybe as much as Michael Vick did.
This guy is a great QB in the making, and whether we think Beck can develop into a decent QB sometime in the future or not, we need to take Ryan.
Oh yeah, one more thing, he's clutch.
